Reading Times Tables Websites
Katherine Rundell has compiled ‘A
book of hope’ which features poems
and short stories from a range of
different authors. Why not have a
read?
https://literacytrust.org.uk/family-
zone/9-12/book-hopes/
Keep practising those tricky times
tables- lots of practise on TTRockstars
and NumBots ( same log in as TTRS)
Why not make your own Times tables
web. Write the timetable in the middle
(e.g x7) and write as many calculation/
facts as you can about it around the
edge.
https://www.natgeokids.com/uk/discover/geography/countries/country-
fact-file-brazil/
Why not learn a little more about Brazil, where a huge proportion of the
Amazon is? There are also lots of other fun activities and interesting facts
on this website!
Please continue to practise your
handwriting and spellings this week.
Neat, joined letters with spaces
between words.
Perhaps practise spellings by writing
them in different colours or in
pyramids like we do at school
sometimes.

Task 1: David Attenborough Fact File
1. Read the fact file about David Attenborough below, highlighting any key information as you
read.
2. Answer the questions on the next page.
David Attenborough
Name: David Frederick Attenborough
Birthday: 8 May, 1926
Fun Facts:
David doesn’t consider himself as an animal lover!
He has won BAFTAs for his wildlife documentaries!
By the age of 7, David already had a ‘museum’ of birds eggs and
ancient fossils.
At 11 years old, he sold newts to a university for 3p each so they
could use them for teaching!
He HATES rats!
What has he done for the natural world?
In 1952, David joined the BBC as a trainee and one of the first programmes he worked on was called ‘Zoo Quest.’ This
programme had parts filmed in the studio as well as on location (in different animal’s habitats.) It showed people all around the
world, animals like chimpanzees, pythons and birds of paradise – something lots of people had never seen before! Because
many people couldn’t afford to travel far at this time, it meant people could learn more about animals that they had never had
the chance to see in real life before. This sparked the nation’s interest in looking after and caring for exotic animals!
In 1957, David went trekking through some of the most remote places in the world and filmed a documentary about different
tribes that lived there. David immediately immersed himself in their cultures, taking part in dances and creating food with the
locals. This was shown on BBC television and thousands of people saw for the first time, that people called places like the
Amazon their home. This made them want to protect it even more so that the tribes could continue their lives there. In showing
us ways of life so different from our own, Sir David helped us understand both the diversity and universality of the human
experience.
In the 1970’s David helped create a show called ‘Life on Earth’. Stunning photography and innovative camera techniques were
used to show animals in their natural habitats. It’s estimated that 500 million people watched the series worldwide.
Without the ambition and persistence of Attenborough and his collaborators, millions of us may never have seen some of the world's rarest creatures. It's been a constant theme throughout his career, beginning with Zoo Quest in the 1950s, when he famously caught the elusive Komodo Dragon on film for the first time. But in 2001, we were given an insight into a strange new world, when Attenborough narrated The Blue Planet. The series introduced millions to the wonders of the deep sea and was the first time some species, including the hairy angler fish and the Dumbo octopus, were captured on film.
Sir David has always said he didn't start making programmes with conservation in mind - he simply enjoyed observing the natural world. But as time passed, he became aware that the animals and habitats he was filming were under threat. He's taken part in documentaries which tackle environmental issues but prefers a subtler approach, showcasing the natural world in the hope we might be inspired to preserve it. Counting President Obama among his biggest admirers, Sir David has done more than almost any other person to help millions of us understand and appreciate the wonders of the world around us. Most notably, David began the ‘no plastic in our oceans’ movement which has seen such a huge following in the past year. After Blue Planet showed how many plastic straws and bottles were in the ocean, threatening the life of wildlife, a huge change began. This include massive companies, like McDonalds and Starbucks, completely changing the way they work and banning many plastic items.

Task 3: Comparing Islamic and Christian Creation Stories
1. Read through the Islamic and the Christian creation stories.
2. Note down any similarities and differences you notice between the texts
3. Answer the questions about comparing the two stories
Islamic creation story
In the time before time, God was. And when God wants to create something, all he needs to
say is "Be", and it becomes.
So it was God that created the world and the heavens. He made all the creatures, which
walk, swim, crawl and fly on the face of the earth. He made the angels, and the Sun, moon
and the stars to dwell in the universe. And consider, as the Qur'an says, how God poured
down the rain in torrents, and broke up the soil to bring forth the corn, the grapes and other
vegetation; the olive and the palm, the fruit trees and the grass.
Then God ordered the angels to go to the earth, and to bring seven handfuls of soil, all of
different colours, from which he could model man. God took the seven kinds of earth and
moulded them into a model of a man. He breathed life and power into it, and it immediately
sprang to life. And this first man was called Adam. God took Adam to live in Paradise. In
Paradise, God created Eve, the first woman, from out of Adam's side. God taught Adam the
names of all the creatures.
God placed the couple in a beautiful garden in Paradise, telling them that they could eat
whatever they wanted except the fruit of on forbidden tree. But the evil one tempted them
to disobey God, and eat the fruit. When God knew that Adam and Eve had disobeyed him,
he threw them out of Paradise and sent them to Earth. But God is merciful. The Earth was
created to give food, drink and shelter to the human race. The Sun, moon and stars give
light. It is a good world, where everything has been created to serve people. And people, the
Qur'an teaches, should serve God and obey his will. For those who submit to the will of God
will be saved and taken to live forever in Paradise.
The Muslim creation story is found in the Qur'an. Muslims believe there is only one God
who created everything. God's world is a good world, and when people obey or submit to
God then life is good. Although God made humans superior to the rest of creation, Muslims
believe that this means humans have been given everything on earth to care for and look
after. The world is not ours to do with as we want.

Task 9: Deforestation Poster- How to Help
This half term we have been learning all about the Amazon Rainforest and the beautiful life within it. However, today
we will be looking at the biggest danger the Amazon is currently facing - deforestation. Deforestation is the
‘destruction of trees of forests on a massive scale.’
1. Have a look at the pictures below to see the effects of deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest
2. Why do you think deforestation is happening? Read the ‘causes of deforestation’ section below.
3. Read about some of the methods of deforestation and the effects and consequences it has in the ‘effects of
deforestation’ grid and the ‘deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest’ poster.
4. Note down in the box below HOW people could help stop deforestation (e.g using shampoo that doesn’t
contain palm oil therefore stopping demand). This website might help
:https://www.theworldcounts.com/stories/Deforestation-Facts-for-Kids
5. Create a poster encouraging people to help stop deforestation - think about HOW and WHY they should
help. Make it colourful and eye-catching.
6. When you have finished, upload it to seesaw for us to see!
Effects of deforestation
1 In the past 40 years nearly 25% of the Amazon
Rainforest in Brazil has been destroyed.
2 An area of rainforest the size of 20 football pitches Is
being destroyed every 60 seconds.
3 50% of the tropical rainforests we had are now gone.
4 28,000 species of animal are expected to become
extinct in the next 20 years.
5 By 2030, it is expected nearly half of the world’s
plants, trees, animals, flowers and humans, who live
in the rainforest are expected to be destroyed or
severely threatened.
6 Local people’s homes are being destroyed
7 It is causing levels of carbon dioxide in the air to
increase and levels of oxygen to decrease.
Causes of Deforestation 1 To clear space for farming (soya bean
plantations and palm oil trees- which is used in lots of food and beauty products etc shampoo) and to graze cattle (for cheaper meat).
2 To use the hardwood timber (trees) for building purposes.
3 To build roads to allow vehicles to travel to new places and mine for metal ores.
4 To dig for oil, which brings in a lot of money.
5 To flood areas to make dams and generate electricity.

Task 10: The Trials of El Dorado
This week we will be looking again at Jaguar Trials by Ruth Eastham. In Jaguar Trials, Ben and his dad travel to the
Amazon Rainforest, Brazil in search of El Dorado, a mythical lost city.
1. Read the information below (Section 1). Have you heard about this myth before? Consider what the most
important information is in the passage.
2. Why do you think people like to tell stories about things like El Dorado?
___________________________________________________________________________

3. Look at the word class prompts on the next page to remind yourself about the different word classes.
4. Find examples of each class of words in the El Dorado passage (section 1) and write them on the
classification table.
5. In Jaguar Trials, Ben has to undergo a series of tasks to get to El Dorado (a little bit like the Tri-Wizard
Tournament in Harry Potter if you have read the book/seen the film!) Read about the three trails in Section 2
6. Imagine 3 tasks you think people should have to complete to get to El Dorado.
7. Draw and write a few sentences about each task - you will need this for tomorrow!
8. When you have finished, choose your favourite trial and upload it to seesaw.
Section 1
El Dorado
El Dorado (Spanish for "the gilded one") is a legend that began with the story of
a South American tribal chief who covered himself with gold dust. In time, the
name has come to be associated with a mythical city or land of gold. The legend
of this magical city has caused many explorers to go in search of the mythical El
Dorado but all have failed. It is said to be within South America but many have
searched the continent, within the Amazon Rainforest and elsewhere and have
found nothing. Amazingly, many stories and films still centre on this legend and
give fictional accounts of its finding.
1 In the past 40 years nearly 25% of the Amazon
Rainforest in Brazil has been destroyed.
2 An area of rainforest the size of 20 football pitches Is
being destroyed every 60 seconds.
3 50% of the tropical rainforests we had are now gone.
4 28,000 species of animal are expected to become
extinct in the next 20 years.
5 By 2030, it is expected nearly half of the world’s
plants, trees, animals, flowers and humans, who live
in the rainforest are expected to be destroyed or
severely threatened.
6 Local people’s homes are being destroyed
7 It is causing levels of carbon dioxide in the air to
increase and levels of oxygen to decrease.

Word Classes
Determiners specify a
noun.
e.g A shadow can be
any shadow but MY
shadow is a specific
shadow.
Conjunctions help you to extend your sentences and add information
Coordinating conjunctions:
Coordinating conjunctions - join two main clauses together to create a
compound sentence.
They are used in the middle of a sentence.
E.g. I could go to the beach or I could go to the park.
Subordinating conjunctions:
Subordinating conjunctions - join a subordinate clause to a main clause.
The can be used at the beginning of sentences as well as in the middle.
e.g. Because I was tired, I went to bed very early.
Coordinating Conjunctions (FANBOYS)
for and nor but
or yet so
Subordinating Conjunctions
when after if because while although despite as
before even though since whenever unless until

Section 2
Trial 1: The Trial of the Hanging Shroud
Ben must climb a sheer cliff covered by a waterfall using no safety equipment. When he reaches the
top he is able to climb through a small gap into a cavern, filled with bats. Ben finds a way to scare
away the bats and as they all fly out, a small hole can be seen. Ben looks through it and sees a tiny
box on a ledge inside but it’s a huge drop if he falls. His friends hold his legs whilst he dangles into
the hole (above an endless abyss) and he collects the box. The box holds the clue to the next trial.
Trial 2: The Trial of the Sapphire Streak
Ben can see a small hole at the bottom of a deep pool of water. He dives in, holding his breath for a
long time, and squeezes through the hole. Suddenly, a rock begins to slide across the hole he came
in through, starting to trap him. He must act quickly. He grabs around to try and find the clue, and
just as the hole is about to close, he finds something (the clue for the next trial), grabs it and just
manages to get back through the hole, scraping his whole body against the sharp rock, which had
tried to imprison him in the watery jail.
Trial 3: The Trial of the Howling Heights
Ben and his friends come upon a row of geysers (vents in the earth’s surface that shoot out hot air
and steam) and different coloured sections on the floor around them. They figure out that the gold
sections of the floor will hold their weight but the red will not. The gold sections are very far apart
and Ben doesn’t think he will be able to jump from one to another without landing on the red land.
Luckily he sees there are vines above him which he can use to swing. He precisely times the geysers
to see how often each one shoots out hot air and steam and uses this and his vine to get across the
geysers without being burnt. When he and his friends manage to cross safely, they find the final path
which leads them to El Dorado.
